How to fertilize cucumbers so the fruits grow straight and yields are high? We ask netizens with cucumber-growing experience to help explainCucumbers not only contain protein, carbohydrates, vitamin B2, vitamin C, vitamin E, carotene, nicotinic acid, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients; cucumbers can also be used for beauty care, with effects such as removing dampness, astringing and eliminating skin wrinkles.
But the price of cucumbers is often determined by their appearance. Deformed cucumbers such as curved cucumbers, big-bellied cucumbers, pointed-tip cucumbers and waist-pinched cucumbers fetch only half the price of straight, evenly sized ones. Therefore, after netizens' many years of cucumber-growing experience, Zhongdiwang has summarized methods for straight cucumbers, high yields and early marketing, listed below for netizens' reference.
I. Using potassium fertilizer as the base fertilizer for cucumber production, applying 12 kg per mu at one time is the most economical and cost-effective. In cucumbers given potassium fertilizer, the leaves are dark green and thick during the seedling stage, the cucumbers can be marketed 5-6 days earlier, and the harvest can be extended by 4 days; cucumbers given potassium fertilizer develop a good root system and have strong stress resistance.
II. To prevent cucumbers from curving and to increase yields, use a 1:30,000 gibberellin (920) solution and apply it to the inner side of the curve after the cucumber flowers fade, once a day, applying 2-3 times, and the cucumber fruits will become straight.Click to view"The Effects of Gibberellin"
